Military celebrates Canada 150 in Vancouver

Hundreds of visitors swarmed Canada Place to check out the many military displays. Plus the Naden Band of the Royal Canadian Navy and the Band of the 15th Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery, participated in the Vancouver Canada Day parade.

In addition, HMCS Regina welcomed over 100 members of the Chinese and Sri-Lankan community on board July 3 as part of Canada 150. RAdm Art McDonald and HCapt(N) Chan greeted visitors and spoke about the importance of inclusivity and diversity in the Canadian Armed Forces. The visit to Regina included tours of the ship. The community members also sat for a briefing that highlighted the navy’s activities in Indo-Asia Pacific and efforts in diversifying its workforce to be more inclusive.
